Abstract
Objectives: We initiated an outpatient pulse oximetry program to facilitate more rapid detection of clinical deterioration of persons with COVID-19.
Methods: Vermont residents in non-congregate settings with laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection were eligible for inclusion.
Results: Acceptance of pulse oximetry occurred more frequently among those who were older or symptomatic, spoke English, or who had underlying medical conditions.
Conclusions: We provide the first description of an outpatient pulse oximetry program for COVID-19 by a state health department in the U.S.
Competing Interests: The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper.
